# Signing commits with GPG
> [Introduced][ce-9546] in GitLab 9.5.
GitLab can show whether a commit is verified or not when signed with a GPG key.
All you need to do is upload the public GPG key in your profile settings.
GPG verified tags are not supported yet.
## Getting started
Here are a few guides to get you started with GPG:
